In the context you're discussing (road trips), 300 miles
does not put an EV on par with a fossil fuel car. Not close. My car can do 550-600 miles per tank, and I use that range in my travel. An EV would add at least an additional 1 hour stop to the same trip (each direction). Sorry, that's not "on par". I have better things to do with my time than sit at a super charger station for an hour claiming parity as the fossil fuel cars fly by.
I agree with you that 300 mile range seems to be the threshold for EV usefulness for a wide swath of the marketplace.
